About

I’m Abidu Rahman AP, a versatile social media and digital marketing professional with over 4 years of experience in the sports industry. I currently serve as a Social Media Manager and Talent Manager/Partner at a FIFA-licensed agency, where I help grow athlete brands, manage content, and navigate global football markets. I enjoy turning data-driven insights into compelling content and authentic partnerships that elevate a player’s profile across leagues and audiences.

I thrive on building authentic personal brands for athletes, coordinating cross-functional teams, and turning data into growth opportunities across time zones, schedules, and high-pressure deal windows. I’m passionate about collaboration, continuous learning, and delivering measurable results for clients and partners alike.
